Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 debuted on PS3, Xbox and PC Tuesday and it’s already broken the record for single day sales revenue, beating the previous record held by Grand Theft Auto IV. According to CNET, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has sold 4.7 million copies and earn $310 million in the U.S. and U.K. alone. That’s a lot of guys who will be going on a 5 day marathon of no sleep, Cheetos, trash talk and ignoring of girlfriends. Not to mention the weeks and months of online play that will follow.
I dare say all this recession talk gets a bit lame when you hear about this many people buying a $60 video game.
I don’t have much room to talk, though. If I had a PS3 (and the debut of this game is enough reason for me to want one, I assure you) then I’d be one of these guys (sans the girlfriend, which I guess means I could go on a 7 day marathon if I wanted. Woot.). When Call of Duty: World at War premiered last year I spent way too much time on the Wii. It didn’t help that I was unemployed and my only other forms of entertainment were yelling at a cat or…never mind.
Happy gaming, gents. I look forward to fragging you soon!
